Aha!
Here I am, creating yet another blog. Hopefully this one will survive the daily grind of life…all my other ones [count them: three] slowly had the insight and spunk squeezed out of them. Or were infected with talk of the menfolk, haha.
I finally finished “Apathy and Other Small Victories” by Paul Neilan. God, there were so many intense quotes from that book. Not to mention, the cover was possibly the greatest book cover in the history of mankind – and exactly the type of thing my parents would hate. [Even my friend Brittany was slightly repulsed, but that made it all the better, haha.] I kind of want to keep it, but Phillip needs it back to write a book report of sorts. Pshh, book reports in high school? I’m glad I don’t go to Buena.
Speaking of lack of work, my friend Bradley sent me a message in the middle of the day basically stating that he was bored beyond all belief, since he’s stuck at Santa Barbara City College all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to carpooling. And apparently he finished all his work and stuff? Dude, you’re supposed to be in college, and your work load is significantly less than mine…I’m kind of jealous. But at the same time, that’s what he gets for going to a community college. I don’t pity him, lazy bum. Ha, but he’s awesome anyway.
Today was not amazing in any respect. Writing an essay in the morning, with your parents yelling at each other five feet away from you – now that takes talent. Talent I don’t possess. I’m not a very emotional person at all; weeping isn’t exactly one of my hobbies. But if there was a day to have a breakdown, it would have been today. But I didn’t, yay!
Yeah, this blog is already getting too serious. I should tell some stand-up comedy. But that would be rather hard, considering that I’m sitting…oh, and I’m typing instead of talking. That too.
You know what? I hate The Brady Bunch. [Seemingly random statement, but my little brother is watching it right now...don't ask me why. My mom is the TV addict of the family.] I actually hate most TV. The sitcoms are all the same mundane one-liners, and the drama is all the same gasp inducing sludge. I used to watch stupid teen soap operas [Degrassi, The Best Years, South of Nowhere, etc.] online as a guilty pleasure, but the last Degrassi I saw, I realized just how unoriginal it all was. Not to mention, watching the same cast date every member of the opposite sex eventually…it’s not very exciting or entertaining at all. And I think they dealt with teen pregnancy like, three times. I know it’s a common and relatable subject to many, but good god. Overkill.
Not being tied down to the television is pretty refreshing. Now if only I could feel the same way about the Internet…
